  • Two WAN ports for DSL and Ethernet offer double the choice

    The DSL-N17U has two WAN (Wide Area Network) ports, allowing it to be used as a standalone router when not operating as a DSL modem router. You can choose which mode suits your needs at any time, reducing cost and clutter by not having to buy separate power-consuming devices. Whether for a basic home setup or a full wireless network, this dual-WAN design gives you total flexibility.
  • Enhanced signal range and stability

    ASUS AiRadar intelligently improves wireless connections using beamforming technology, and exclusive ASUS RF fine-tuning. This ensures extended coverage, dynamic data speed increases, and enhanced stability.
  • Gigabit Internet browsing with hardware NAT

    Equipped with a powerful hardware NAT acceleration engine and built-in Gigabit Ethernet, the DSL-N17U gives you full Gigabit performance. Its WAN-to-LAN throughput performance is over 900 Mbps, which is more than 4.5 times that of traditional software-based NAT Gigabit routers. This reduces the possibility of bottlenecks on fast internet connections.
